At the beginning of May 1943, in Lijiazhuang, at the junction of Xingxian and Lan counties in Shanxi Province on the Yanhuang Mainland, the second squad of the Lijiazhuang detachment of the Yanhuanghong Party militia unit was crawling on the slope of about 200 meters in front of Lijiazhuang, waiting for the arrival of the Japanese devil cavalry unit on the distant road.

"Squad leader, how will you fight in a while?" Pillar asked.

"Everyone spread out a little, the little devil's small cannon (grenadier) is very powerful, wait for me to fire the gun in a while, and then fire together, let the devil get close to 200 meters and then shoot!"

"What? 200 meters, squad leader, this is a new gun that we are all playing, not the original old sleeve, 200 meters is not close? An old militiaman asked.

"There are too many devils, if you go any further, their casualties will be small, and there will be too much time to reflect, and we will end our position in one organized attack! 200 meters, let's dump bullets from above, we can definitely let them drink a pot, and there will be chaos for a while. Do you understand? ”

"Got it!"

"Got it!!"

I saw that all the soldiers took the grenades off their bodies, and the deputy squad leader Li Qiang took a soldier to distribute all the magazines and grenades in the position to everyone. In the position, the waiting time always seemed long, someone touched his chin with his left hand, someone twisted the bullet back and forth with his fingers, someone plucked his nose with his fingers, and no one spoke, waiting quietly. Five minutes later, Xu Dali, who was in charge of burying the mines, returned to the position with three other people.

"Vigorously, it's over?" The squad leader asked.

"Don't worry, squad leader! The pit had been dug a long time ago, and it was only time to bury the earth, very quickly! ”

"Okay, hurry up and get in place, the devil is already 2 miles away!"

"Yes, quick!" Vigorously said and beckoned to the three people beside him, and lay on the left side of the squad position, near the direction of the road.

Two kilometers away, Captain Tian Gang was galloping on his horse, although he knew that he was getting closer and closer to his destination, but the confidence in his bones in the emperor's ** team and the fast march of the cavalry made him disdain to send out the scout troops that should have been released. Tian Gang, who loves bushido, hopes to appear in front of the enemy as a divine soldier, so as to appreciate the enemy's doubts, surprises, fears, and despairs, which is the greatest enjoyment for him.

"According to the map, there should be Lijiazhuang in front of it," Tian Gang said to himself in a low voice: "After Lijiazhuang, there are still 20 miles to the county seat of Xingxian, and the enemy has no time to react!" ”

"Spread the word to the troops, after passing through Lijiapo, the troops entered the attack state!" Seeing that all the soldiers were still carrying rifles, or hunching light machine guns and grenadiers on horseback, Tian Gang instructed the adjutant beside him.

"Hey!!" The adjutant replied as he rode a horse to deliver a message to the others. And after saying these few words, Tian Gang's brigade had already marched to a distance of less than 400 meters from the second squad of the Lijiazhuang detachment.

"Ready..."The second squad leader began to aim with a Type 56 automatic rifle, and said slowly: "Fight!!" With that, he was the first to pull the trigger, and orange flames erupted from the chamber of the Type 56 automatic rifle. Immediately afterward, 10 other flames also bloomed.

"Ahh

"Wow!!"

The sudden attack and the dense bullets swept the more than 20 people at the head of Tian Gang's cavalry brigade under the horse.

"Enemy attack! Quick, dismount, cover! Seeing that the troops were under attack, the captain Tian Gang quickly grabbed the reins of the horse, and turned over and dismounted while shouting!

Because it is not a professional cavalry, the soldier's riding skills are not skilled, but only the state of riding a horse, so the scene was a little chaotic, accompanied by two waves of grenades dropped from the hillside before and after, until all the soldiers dismounted to find a hidden place, Tian Gang's brigade lost more than 40 people, just half a minute into the battle, more than 60 casualties.

"Fire, return fire!" Captain Tian Gang ordered loudly in a hidden place.

"Poof, poof, poof!" The gunfire of the 38 big cover began to rise one after another. At the same time, bursts of white smoke began to rise from the stone pile in front of the defensive position of the second squad of the Lijiazhuang detachment.

"Damn, watch out for the devil's bullets!" After the second squad leader saw the devil firing, he said loudly: "Pay attention to the machine gunners who hit the devils first, their machine guns are still on horseback, don't let them take them down!" ”

11 Type 56 fully automatic rifles, 1 Type 56 light machine gun, plus sufficient ammunition, formed a small rain of bullets, plus many Taisho Type 11 machine guns of Tian Gang's brigade, grenadiers were still tied to horses, and could not be used immediately in a short time, thus forming a stalemate between Tian Gang's brigade and the 12-man ambush force. However, after all, the devil has experienced a long period of professional training in field troops, and the team of more than 1,000 people is very long, and it is impossible to take care of it with only 12 guns. Two minutes later, the devils at the back of the brigade untied the Taisho Type 11 machine gun (i.e., the crooked handle machine gun), installed the drum, and quickly established seven or eight fire support points surrounded by the light machine gun commander, shè hand, and two deputy shè men with ammunition (all four of whom were equipped with self-defense pistols). However, due to the inherent shortcomings of the crooked handle machine gun (the caliber of the bullet is on the small side, the penetration force is low. It is okay to hit people with 6.5mm caliber bullets, but it is not strong enough to hit cover. At a distance of more than 100 meters, a thousand bullets could not destroy an ordinary sand base. In general, as a suppressive firearm, the crooked sub-machine gun is less powerful). Therefore, the shè fire of the crooked machine gun from 200 meters down the hill did not cause any damage for the time being, except for the white smoke that came one after another to the position of the second squad of the Lijiazhuang detachment.

"Lao Xu, hold on!" A voice suddenly came from behind Xu Zhanzhan, the second squad leader.

"Captain, you're here!" Seeing the detachment leader returning with reinforcements, squad leader Xu couldn't help but take a deep breath and grinned.

"I just received a letter from Wei Erwazi, I first asked him to ride a horse to report to the main force, and then came with the first and third shifts." The captain of the Li Jiazhuang detachment waved his hand as he said, "Quick, everyone enter the position, pay attention to the devil's bullets!" ”

Thanks to the addition of the new forces, the firepower of the defensive positions quickly increased by a factor of two! 36 Type 56 automatic rifles, 4 Type 56 light machine guns (3 squads, 3 under the command of the detachment leader) a total of more than 40 continuous fire, quickly brought back a lot of suppressed scenes.

"Gan Wazi, set up a bazooka, let me bomb in a crowded place, Liu Cannon, don't need to save shells now, bomb me as many shells as you want!" Fast! Hurry up!! The captain of the Lijiazhuang detachment gave the order while firing.

"Understood," I saw Gan Wazi quickly untie the bazooka behind him, aim casually, pull the trigger, and under a string of smoke, a rocket rushed towards a concentration of devils under the hillside. With a bang, 6 or 7 devils died in response. And Liu's 60mm mortar was even more unambiguous, taking advantage of the fact that the devil's grenadier was not yet erected, relying on the superior Xing from a high place, with a frequency of 5 seconds per shot, dumping shells on Tian Gang's brigade.

"Fight back! Fight back for me! Captain Tian Gang gave the order behind the bunker. At this time, the entire brigade had already adjusted from the initial strike panic, and began to spontaneously organize a counterattack according to the contents of the infantry manual in Pingri. Nearly 20 machine gun support points were established (a brigade of Japanese Kou was equipped with a total of 36 Taisho-11 light machine guns and 8~12 heavy machine guns) to suppress the positions of the Lijiazhuang detachment. At the same time, the artillery platoon soldiers of the Tiangang Brigade (a brigade of the Japanese Army, equipped with a 55-man artillery platoon, including a 10-person platoon, a 15-person ammunition squad, and two 15-person artillery squads each equipped with a 70mm Type 92 infantry gun), braved the rain of bullets, took down a Type 92 infantry gun from the carriage, adjusted the angle, and prepared to bombard the position of the Lijiazhuang detachment (only after checking the information did I know that the Japanese were at the brigade level and did not have a large range of support mortars, Instead, the squad support fire grenadier and the brigade support fire Type 92 infantry gun were used as support fire, because although the mortar's smoke and cannon sound were smaller and lighter than the "Type 92" infantry gun, the officers and men on the front line gave good evaluation. However, the high velocity of mortars resulted in ammunition consumption was contrary to the tactical goal pursued by the Japanese generals - to achieve maximum results with the lowest ammunition consumption. Therefore, under the interference of the upper echelons, the Japanese army did not promote this weapon to all troops, and the main troops still used the old "Type 92" infantry guns as the mainstream, while most of the "Type 97" mortars were distributed to second-line troops or vassal countries).

"Poof~da!" A bullet hit the side of the pillar helmet and was ricocheted off.

"MD, another shot!" The pillar shrank his head and fired as he shot and cursed.

"Heh, pillar, what time is this?" Gan Wazi next to him asked.

"Phew, it's the third shot!"

"It's a good fate for you, just in time for the steel helmet to be distributed, if you had changed to a hat made of cloth before, you would have died!"

"Bad luck, bad luck! Old man, don't say it!! The pillar moved back, crouched into the tunnel, rolled over, withdrew the empty magazine, and replied as he replaced it.

"Captain, the enemy is attacking the mountain!"

After stabilizing the position, Tian Gang's brigade covered with about 20 machine guns, and the rest of the infantry, moving while striking, or groups of three or five, alternately advanced, and the distance of 200 meters was the best area for the Japanese soldiers, and the defense of the Lijiazhuang detachment faced more and more dense bullet rain attacks.

"Ah~~" A scream suddenly came from the right side of the position.

"What's wrong? Who was shot? The detachment leader hurriedly asked as he shot.

"Huang San was shot in the neck, it's no longer good!"

“tmd!!”

Boom!!! Suddenly, there were several loud noises from the side of the road.

"Captain, we buried the iron melon mine, and the devil tried to outflank us from the road, but he stepped on the mine."

"Xu Dali, your people must have blocked the intersection for me!"

"Captain, the little devil is coming up, and it's only more than 150 meters away from us!"

"The first squad of firepower and the machine gun position of the devils are facing each other, and the devils of the second and third shifts of fire assault! Ganwazi, Liu Cannon, give me a bazooka and a mortar to greet the little devil's mountain artillery."

Little by little, time passed. Seven minutes later,

"Captain, the devil has climbed halfway up the mountain, and there are still about 80 meters away from us!"

"Captain, the outflanked devil is not deterred by the mines, and is attacking from the road to the back of the hill!"

"Captain!"

"Captain!"

"Don't mess around, everyone!" After all, it is not a regular army, and there are new militiamen who have just joined the army, and after the smooth battle, the devil has gotten rid of the panic at the beginning, and the battle situation has completely tilted towards Tian Gang's brigade.

"Listen to me, everyone now throw all the grenades out, and then retreat in batches, the first shift will withdraw first, and the second and third shifts will quickly follow, understand!"

"Understood!"

Half a minute later, with the end of the third wave of grenade rain attacks, the fire on the hillside suddenly fell silent, and the Tian Gang brigade, which was afraid of fraud, sent a small force to advance interspersed, and when they arrived at the top of the mountain three minutes later, the entire Lijiazhuang detachment had already run 2 kilometers away along the trail. In this battle, the Tanaka brigade suffered 117 dead and 72 wounded, with a total of nearly 200 casualties, while the Lijiazhuang detachment, with its strong terrain, pre-set defensive positions and sudden attacks, only 2 people were killed and 7 were slightly wounded.

Tian Gang's brigade has only more than 1,000 people in total, and the casualties of more than 200 people are not light, because of the need to treat the wounded and find the frightened horses, Tian Gang made a decision that had a major impact on the battle situation behind: wait for the arrival of the main force behind (the radio of the Japanese is generally only equipped to the wing level, and only the special brigade is equipped with radio stations), report the encounter situation, and ask the brigade commander to decide the next battle plan. Due to this pause and delay, it was not until three hours later that the brigade commander Yuichiro Nagano and King Hengxian of Heyang Palace arrived at Lijiazhuang, and within these three hours, the news of the raid on the county seat of Xingxian by the Japanese troops had quickly spread to the high-level command of the Red Party army.
